In what is hopefully the last bit of Bee Movie meme-ing this year, a freshman at Baylor University wrote the script to Bee Movie by hand for his girlfriend as some sort of Christmas gift. Who says romance isn’t dead ironic?

Conner Fastenau spent three hours, three human hours, 180-EARTH MINUTES, transcribing the 2007 script to Bee Movie, the film about a talking bee that Jerry Seinfeld made for some reason, as sign of his romantic attraction for an adult human woman.

Appearing on The Graham Norton Show, Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston revealed his secret past as the director of dating profile videos. Before Tinder, OkCupid, and Match.com, single people would record a short video of themselves as an introduction. Prospective daters would then watch and effectively swipe right or left on the person. Cranston's job, as he tells Norton, was to get these daters to loosen up a bit.

In this clip, Cranston gives the tricks of the trade and even takes a stab at a video intro of his own with a little help from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them's Eddie Redmayne and Dr. Strange's Benedict Cumberbatch.
